I have no experience with the use of nitroglycerine, but I am thinking that the 9th at Kingsley might be a good place to experiment.
I hit 5-iron from the back tees, into the wind. The hole location was back middle-right. I made about the best swing I had made all day. Standing on the tee watching it, my foursome congratulated me on hitting the best tee shot of the group. The ball landed on the front of the green, bounced once, rolled up to a spot about six feet short and slightly left of the flagstick, the wrong side of the ridge, and proceeded to roll back, perhaps 30-35 feet, off the green to the front left. And bumped up against a shaggy cut of rough, giving me little chance to control the next shot. I hit an okay chip, keeping the ball below the hole, but with zero spin. It rolled off the green, to the right side falloff, and never stopped until it had rolled down through the closely-mown portion, which basically has no bottom to it, into heavy rough, leaving me now a 20-yard pitch to a tiny target that was eight or ten feet above me. I chipped that ball onto the green, settling it again below the hole, but it once again rolled off the same way my tee shot had rolled off. I now found myself laying three, within just a few feet of where my tee shot had been. But now I had a little better lie to get grooves onto the ball. So I hit a more lofted, spinning shot, and hit it on a higher, more aggressive line to the hole, thinking that the conservative line staying below the hole hadn't done me any good. I hit that shot, not terribly, but again the green simply wouldn't accept it. And, a ball that came within a revolution or two of stopping on the green again took the slope and went down the hill to the right, this time taking the roll from the closely-mown runoff area and scooting farther off to the right and leaving me a harder angle than on my second shot. Laying four and facing a terrible disaster (not to mention holding up my buddies on the tee behind us, whose laughter was audible 174 yards away), I then grabbed sand wedge and quickly tried to hit a shot that would come to rest anywhere on the green. I hit a soft shot into the center of the green, but that of course is where the center ridge is, and that ball drifted to the front {edit - left} collar of the green. Five. Now, facing essentially the same shot for the third time on a Par-3 hole, I simply lagged a putt to a place on the green, about the size of a billiard table, where it would not roll off. I am sucessful, with my sixth shot. I hit another conservative putt, below the hole, seven. Petrified of what was left (the last time my ball was this close to the cup on this hole was on my tee shot, for a moment), I missed that putt on the low (right) side and watched it drift scarily away. Eight. I then made a rather good comeback putt from about two feet. Nine.
We've all had occasions where we hit three cummy shots but still managed to make par on a Par-4. Or even where we managed to make birdie after three unremarkable shots on a Par 5.
On the 9th at Kingsley, I hit about seven good shots and wound up with a 9.
Somebody please inform me how that hole is supposed to be played, because it is the one incomprehensible hole on a course that I otherwise admire very much.
